Episode 1119. Good and Evil

Deep in the chaos, Odong, who had been chasing So-woon’s corpse, reached there and discovered the Pure Land in the midst of the chaos, his eyes sparkling.

That was where Jehondon’s corpse was sleeping.

Jehondon was slowly facing death here. However, there were other uninvited guests besides Jehondon’s corpse in that place.

Those were the corpses of So-un, numbering a whopping eight hundred. They were lined up there.

The real So-woon’s corpse, which O-dong had brought into the chaos, was also placed in the middle of the other So-woon’s corpses standing in a row and decorated.

The corpses of over eight hundred people, and the real Soun standing next to them. As I looked at that sight, a cold sensation ran down my spine.

“Cow help.”

The real Jehondon Jinshin, who had been with So-woon’s corpses, stood up from his seat and spoke to the real So-woon.

“There is no Hongmong sector left in your body. That is why your flesh and soul continue to be in chaos. I cannot create a Hongmong sector for you. In other words, I cannot save you… … However, fortunately, someone from the future, the future Taoist universe, left you this gift. He said he wanted to use this to resolve the misunderstandings and ill feelings between you and himself.”

The real So-Woon, who had been hanging like a corpse, suddenly raised his head and looked around. He lifted his limp hand and touched his own corpse in front of him.

At that moment, So-woon’s body melted and its byproducts transformed into Hongmong’s division and inhabited So-woon’s body.

The Hongmong part that existed in So-woon’s body was completely wiped out by the King of Reincarnation. The King of Reincarnation drove out the Hongmong part from So-woon’s body in the future, the past, and every moment.

That’s why So-woon was unable to restore her body to its original state through the Hongmong sector, and she gradually lost her vitality.

But there was something that the King of Reincarnation had missed. No, it was something he had not thought of. The Taoist Feng Xiaochong, he had intercepted So-woon in over eight hundred reincarnations and taken his body. It was to study So-woon.

He even moved So-un’s body outside of the cycle of reincarnation where order exists, to a place of chaos.

In the cycle of reincarnation where order exists, he killed So-woon over eight hundred times, rendering the eight million years of So-woon struggling to survive useless.

Feng Xiaochung was the first god of the Taoist universe. To him, the half-reincarnation king was a weakling that he could deal with with his eyes closed. It was so easy to escape from the orderly reincarnation, even with So-woon’s corpse.

Even such a Feng Xiaochung could not reach the most important entity residing in So-woon’s body, the main body of Hongmong.

Even the corpses of So-un, who had been torn to pieces by Feng Xiaochung, were actually alive and well. It was just that the standard for being alive was a little far removed from common sense.

And now, the corpse, which was questionable as to whether it was really alive, was becoming So-woon’s lifeline.

The moment the first Soun corpse transformed into Hongmong Sect and entered Soun’s body, Soun’s realm and magical power, which had been transformed into the energy of chaos, burst into light.

The Hongmong sector that had been shattered and disappeared began to fill its place again. The vitality that had once been cut off returned, and the chaos that had been occupying So-woon’s body was pushed out of his body.

The Hongmong sector soon formed a new path of chaos. However, it was a little different from what So-woon had before. To be precise, there was one important thing missing.

The Way of Chaos made up of Hongmong could not be called a true Way of Chaos.

“So Do-u, chaos does not exist in reincarnation, nor in Hongmong.”

Jehondon observed Sowoon’s situation and gave him this advice.

“Your Hongmong ideology is strong. It contains vast energy. However, there is no chaos within it.”

As the energy of Soun returned, the city center, which had been withering away, gradually regained its original appearance.

No matter how much he was a so-un, he couldn’t help but despair when the city center was in ruins. However, at the moment of life or death, Odong, Jehondon, and, unintentionally, Feng Xiaochung gave So-un hope.

So-woon had no intention of letting go of that hope. No, she couldn’t let it go.

So-woon put his hand on the second corpse. The same thing happened with the first corpse, but So-woon’s power grew stronger. He now had enough composure to gather his thoughts.

“There is no chaos in Hongmong… … Is that why I couldn’t complete the Hongmong section?”

Jehondon answered Sowoon’s question.

“Your Hongmong section is certainly far from perfect. However, even if it were perfected, there would be no chaos within it. Even my Way of Chaos contains only a part of chaos, and not everything is made of chaos. I know of only one person who has truly reached that level. He is the Seven Princes of Chaos.”

So-Woon, who absorbed the Hongmong section of the second corpse, raised his strength to the level he was at when he fought the reincarnation king.

The third body naturally approached So-woon’s side.

“The Seven Princes of Chaos?”

So-woon tilted her head and smiled.

“I wish we could have met in person and talked.”

My husband said.

“He wanders the sea of ??chaos, looking for a way to change the fear that continues to befall the universe he belongs to. I met him by chance and received his teachings twice, but the time spent with him was not long. Perhaps the next time we meet, he will have achieved his goal.”

Jehondon was purely amazed as he watched So-woon absorb the third corpse. So-woon had already succeeded in integrating his body with the Tao. For him, it was not difficult to absorb his own corpse with his strength and Tao.

What currently made up So-woon’s body was not ordinary blood and flesh. It was the Hongmong section that made up his body.

So-Woon no longer needed flesh and blood to survive. If even one Hongmong faction remained, he could continue his life.

Unless the opponent was the reincarnation king, there was no one in this world who could kill him.

So-woon slowly absorbed the self that existed in the eight hundred reincarnations. Feng Xiaochong had killed So-woon more than eight hundred times. That was why So-woon held a grudge against him, but thanks to Feng Xiaochong’s interference, So-woon was able to prolong his life in the present.

It couldn’t have been a more contradictory situation.

The crossroads of life and death, the joys and sorrows that intersect, the city that has tasted destruction. All of those things have become a thing of the past. And now, So-woon looks back on his life.

His life was strange and strange. The future and the past were entangled. The past was created by the future, and sometimes, like an ordinary person, the accumulated past led to the future.

Even now, So-Woon, who had lost his past to the reincarnation king, was receiving new life from his future self.

So-Woon recalled the time when he had gone to the Sea of ??Chaos and the Cosmic Graveyard, where he had inherited power from the ruined future and created a new universe.

And in that universe, he led Hong Menglian to the ‘past’ and brought her back to the present.

So-un realized that her life was not bound by time and space, that it was a result of the confusion of cause and effect, and that it existed above the jumbled and mixed cycle of reincarnation.

He was one and the beginning, the future and the past were expanding around him in the present. And the past and future that expanded in that way were in turn illuminating the path that he in the present had to take.

Jehondon looked at Sowoon with a surprised expression. Even he was unable to keep up with Sowoon’s changes.

As So-un’s Hongmong grew, his enlightenment deepened.

At that moment, countless peach blossoms bloomed and the self spread out like an ocean above them.

And from each painting, layer upon layer of Taoist scriptures emerged.

Jehondon took a deep breath as he looked at the peach blossoms and the Taoist scriptures blooming on the purple sea. The number of peach blossoms and the Taoist scriptures exceeded his three thousand great paths, reaching six hundred and forty thousand kinds. Even at this very moment, the number was increasing.

The Dokyung was piled up and wrapped up, reaching the five-tiered heaven. Jehondon looked at the five-layered Dokyung and the corners of his mouth trembled again.

The Hongmong section of So-un formed this kind of great Dao-do-gyeong. The more the Hongmong section contained the great Dao, the more layers there were in the great Dao-do-gyeong.

Simply put, So-un’s Hongmong section was being sublimated into a more perfect being.

In the past, So-Woon had to borrow strength from him by combining Je-Hyun-Dong’s Do-Gyeong and his own Do-Gyeong to be able to fight on equal terms with the King of Reincarnation. However, for the current So-Woon, such a cumbersome method was unnecessary.

The moment his path reached the Five Heavens, his realm surpassed that of the sage kings of reincarnation.

And in the midst of all this, the number of Do-kyungs continued to increase, and at the same time, the layers of Do-kyungs became thicker. And So-woon’s enlightenment toward Hongmong also deepened.

But even in this great leap, So-un’s Do-gyeong was still far from the innate Nine Heavens. That’s how difficult it was to reach the realm of the Nine Heavens of the Do-gyeong.

How long had it been? The moment So-un’s Do-gyeongs ascended to the Six Heavens, his realm soared to a level that was incomparable to before. However, the Seoncheon Do-gyeong was still stuck in the Eight Heavens.

Only the other great paths were quickly closing the distance with the innate path. Now, only two floors remained. In other words, So-woon’s Hongmong was rapidly approaching perfection.

And when that time really came, there would be no Hongmong section there. There would be no reason for the Pre-Cheon Diary to exist. The only thing that would remain for So-woon would be the existence of the name Hongmong.

That was the end of the path that So-un had to pursue.

Finally, So-woon woke up. He got up from his seat, bowed his head toward Je-hon-don, and expressed his gratitude.

Jehondon smiled and said.

“You’re risking your life to revive me. This much help is a given.”

At that moment, O-dong flew in from beyond the chaos and attacked Je-Hoon-Don. Then, she found So-Woon who had returned in perfect condition and stood still with an expression of disbelief.

“So Do-woo, I have returned the city hall that woman gave to save you.”

Jehondon explained this to Sowoon, then looked at Odong with a serious expression.

“What you are after is magic. I am the same. So let me give you some advice. You think that your city center will be destroyed by showing affection. If you do that, I will also be doing a favor to So Dou, so my city center should be destroyed as well. But what do you think? Unlike you, I am fine. Do you know why this is?”

Odong shook his head.

“There is no good or evil in the Tao. Only the mind exists in its place. Does the good deeds that the mind has done out of affection go against the Tao of the devil? The Tao of the devil does not distinguish between good and evil. If you keep that in mind and enlighten yourself a little more deeply, you will surely be able to get closer to the Ten Heavens of the Tao than anyone else.”
